Release date, card count, chase cards, value and how it compares with the PCG era.
Black Deck Kit is a Japanese Pokémon TCG deck product from the PCG era, released on November 19, 2004. It is a small product, with 20 catalog printings in total, and it is built around a Dark Tyranitar line: Dark Tyranitar, Dark Pupitar and Larvitar each appear twice, so the kit reads as a single evolution family with extra versions rather than a spread of unrelated cards. Rocket's Moltres ex heads the card list, with Dark Tyranitar, Dark Houndoom and Dark Pupitar close behind.
Black Deck Kit was released November 19, 2004.
Black Deck Kit has 20 cards.
Black Deck Kit is part of the PCG era.
Rocket's Moltres ex, at $69.50, as of November 3, 2026.
The chase cards in Black Deck Kit come from a short list, and the most valuable cards are led by Rocket's Moltres ex, then Dark Tyranitar, Dark Houndoom and Dark Pupitar. Houndour completes the top five. Value is heavily concentrated, with the top five cards holding 82 percent of the set's total card value, so the rest of the 20 printings carry little weight beside them. Because the Dark Tyranitar family has two printings of each member, the same names can sit at different positions in the value order.
As of October 2026, Black Deck Kit holds the 3rd highest total card value of the 4 comparable PCG sets, at about 0.7 times the era median, and across the whole game it ranks 26th of 110. Its most valuable single card also ranks 3rd in the era, and its trading activity ranks 2nd. It followed Silver Deck Kit, which holds more total value, and came before Fighting Quick Construction Pack, which is led by Rhyhorn. English collectors have these cards in Team Rocket Returns, which arrived November 1, 2004, 3 weeks before the Japanese kit, and the two share 12 cards.

Completing Black Deck Kit means finding 20 catalog printings, of which 18 are priced. With 82 percent of total card value in five cards, the cost of a complete set depends mostly on those few Dark Tyranitar, Dark Houndoom and Rocket's Moltres ex printings, while the remaining cards are comparatively minor. Collectors tracking the card list should note that Dark Pupitar, Dark Tyranitar and Larvitar each have two printings to account for.
